ABSTRACT:
This device is an atmospheric water collector and collects water from the atmosphere by providing a portable cabinet in which the entire apparatus is located, needing only a source of electricity.
A dehumidifier is located in an upper compartment separated by a horizontal partition from a lower compartment. In the upper compartment, two opposite walls are perforated to provide access of new moisture carrying air to circulate about the dehumidifier, and a water discharge spout is also located above the horizontal partition, but is outside the dehumidifier compartment. A water feed conduit from the dehumidifier leads to a water collecting tank in the lower compartment, passing through a water filter on its way. An ultra-violet light bulb sterilizes the water in the tank. A water level control in the collecting tank controls the operation of the dehumidifier. A water pump controlled by a combination water discharge spout and pump switch pumps the water to the spout, up through a check valve and another filter.
A complete electric refrigerator is also included with the cabinet for keeping the water cool and drinkable.
